consolation of unappreciated genius, the APP
peal TO posterity. lie says: However, mis-
fortune though it be, it is no degradation.
We are TO be pitied for it, that Is all. Love
us the more for it, dear, charitable public,
since YOU are at once our present and our

NJ. Coduelin has the sensible idea Of genius,
too He believes il is closely related TO per-
sistence and hard v.ovk, and that inspiration
is wrought out and not waited for. He says:
"Nothing is more likely 70 produce insplra-
ton than good, hard, preparatory work" lie
has carried out his theory; he has worked IN
cessantly. He was admitted TO the Comedie
Francaise when but 81 years of age, and be-
came societaire at ~, all Of which meant
that he had paid for these privileges III the

doesn't depend upon good looks, picturesque
ness Of appearance, or splendid stage clothes.
He isn't even romantic looking in any par

Mr.. James says hS is an image OF success as
well as OF resolution Ii came TO him the first
timo he trod the stage. He has yet TO meet
defeat. He has an immense repertory, as
well as telling" voice, and in the United
States he will be likely TO find plenty OF elbo"
